Mitchell / The Philadelphia Inquirer (MCT) Wednesday, June 27, 2012 PHILADELPHIA — When the 76ers make their first selection Thursday in the NBA draft, the player they add with the 15th overall pick will have been scrutinized by coaches and scouts for hundreds of hours. They will know, for the most part, every strength and weakness of his game. 七六人選新秀之前，當然得觀察這位球員數百個小時，才會做出選擇。 Though it knows what type of weak-side defender a player might be at the NBA level, none of the basketball brain trust will know how that player’s mind works. That’s why, when asked about a player’s mental makeup and his personality, the response usually is about a player’s “motor” or lack thereof. 不過再怎麼了解球員的技術面，心理層次的特質，尤其是一個球員有沒有衝勁和動力，常常是一團謎。 That is why the Sixers have employed Joel Fish for the last 14 years. The Lower Merion, Pa., native and the director of the Center for Sport Psychology in Center City is the Sixers’ team psychologist. Since 1998, he has done personality assessments of every player the Sixers have worked out before the draft. 因此過去14年來，七六人需要Joel Fish--中央市運動心理學中心主任--來擔任球隊心理師，評估每一位來參加測試的菜鳥。 Fish’s job is to make sure that a potential Sixers draft choice has the maturity and strength of character to succeed both on and off the court. His job is to assess those things that are key components to becoming a successful NBA player. Fish measures what Rod Thorn, Doug Collins, and the team’s many scouts cannot. Fish的工作就是確保七六人的口袋人選，擁有夠堅強、夠成熟的心態，場上場下都是。這個任務可是Rod Thorn、Doug Collins做不來的。 “Just because you are big and strong mentally, that doesn’t mean that you are big and strong emotionally,” Fish said. “The NBA is not a lightbulb league. If you’ve got some gaps in your personality, it’s not like a lightbulb goes on because all of a sudden you are in the NBA. In fact, in my experience, if there are some issues there with the player, under the increased stress of the NBA, those patterns can get worse." Fish說：「就算自信滿滿，也不代表情緒控管良好。事實上，如果人格有某些弱點，在壓力更大的NBA，通常問題也會更容易爆發。」 After the Sixers worked out Illinois center Meyers Leonard on Tuesday, Fish spent about an hour with the 7-foot-1 center. He gave Leonard a standardized test designed to determine his mental toughness, competitive nature, willingness to be coached and people skills. 週二測試了Meyers Leonard之後，Fish給他一份標準量表，測驗他的精神強度、競爭天性、受教程度和社交技巧。 The other 30 minutes of the interview included a series of situational questions to give the Sixers an idea of how the player might respond under stressful conditions on and off the court. 緊接著再面談30分鐘，看看場上場下各種情境當中，他會有什麼反應。 Fish then submits a report to the Sixers that is used as part of the player’ s profile. 最後綜合結果，呈交一份報告給球團。 “He plays a big role,” said Tony DiLeo, the Sixers’ senior vice president of basketball operations. “We have all the info that we need to know about a player from a basketball standpoint, but we can’t pinpoint what’s inside. 籃球事務副總裁Tony DiLeo說：「他很重要，因為知人知面不知心哪。」 “If there are a lot of red flags that Joel has identified, yes, it will probably prevent us from taking a player,” DiLeo said. 「如果他列出很多警訊，我們大概就會對某位球員敬而遠之。」 Fish maintains a database of about 200 players. This is valuable because many times when discussing trades, the Sixers want to know the makeup of a player they might trade for in the future. Fish手邊有大概200名球員的資料庫，在討論交易時很有參考價值。 The NBA is full of horror stories of players who were drafted and then encountered trouble, some of it extreme. Former Roman Catholic High star Eddie Griffin, the seventh overall pick in the 2001 draft, battled alcoholism and depression before ending his life in 2007 in a collision with a moving train; his blood-alcohol level was reported to be more than three times the legal limit in Houston, where he died at 25. NBA出現過很多菜鳥，獲選之後卻接連出狀況，甚至還有很極端的案例。例如，2001年第七順位的 Eddie Griffin，在酗酒與憂鬱症中起起伏伏，最後2007年與火車相撞，結束生命。死時酒精濃度是當地法定標準的三倍，時年25。 “If there is a pattern of conflict, a pattern of an unsound history, then what you build on top of it is often really shaky,” Fish said. “You want a player who has a good track record in terms of being able to handle success and adversity. It’s my job to make sure that the Sixers do just that.” 「如果有內心矛盾的狀況，不健康的一段過去，那麼再往上爬就不是那麼安全。」 Fish說：「你希望球員面對成功和低潮時，都展現出良好的態度。我的工作就是確保七六人不要選錯人。」 -- 沒發現 Sp8s 自私又好吃嗎.... -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 140.109.224.28 ※ 編輯: hanway 來自: 140.109.224.28 (06/29 02:33)
